It's A Sad And Beautiful World.

When I'm Trying To Imagine Something, I Have A Few Elements, A Few Ideas, Maybe A Certain Actor Or Actress I Want To Create A Certain Type Of Character For, Or Maybe A Certain Place.

When I Studied With Nicholas Ray He Was Always Telling Us, "if You Want To Make Films, Watch A Lot Of Films, But Don't Just Watch Films, Go Take A Walk, Look At The Sky, Read A Book About Meteorology, Look At The Design Of People's Shoes. Because All Of Them Are Part Of Filmmaking." So I Thought, Perfect! That's A Good Job For Me.

Film Relates To Almost Every Other Form Of Expression, But Poetry Is A Bit Abstract In Its Strength And Sometimes Even The White Spaces On The Page Are Evocative Almost As Much As Where The Text Is. Certain Poets Have Played With That.

I'm Very Interested In Variations.
